Finally got the urge to upgrade from my Rocky to a new grinder to match my new (used) espresso machine. Looked at tons and tons of reveiws. Everyone trying to tell me what THEIR BEST grinder would be. Wanted to lose the doser off my next pick. Dosers are nice but unecessary for the way I make coffee in my house. Liked the Mazzer Mini E Doserless but could not fathom the price of the grinder as being six times that of my first car! The MACAP works great! No fuss, no mess. I am still learning to dial it in, but have all the range in the world to do that with. It is nice that I can grind to a small plastic cup and MEASURE my exact load to my Portafilter cup. My accuracy has increased! More folks will talk about this machine as it becomes better known.

Description:
If you are looking for a high performance espresso coffee grinder with micrometrical adjustment of the grinding burrs and available for the most demanding situation presented by an espresso fanatic, then this is the grinder fo you. In January of 2004, Macap presented and sent three samples of this grinder to 1st-line Equipment, LLC. After thorough evaluation, we provided some feedback on some changes needed on the M4 grinder. Unlike some other coffee grinder manufacturers, Macap made our requested changes at their cost while maintaining a very competitive price point for both the home enthusiast and the coffee shop owner. Some standout features include chrome plated steel to match poliched stainless steel espresso machines and the placement of the electrical cord is under the grinder (not out of the side body as found on many other espresso coffee grinders).
Finally, do not feel confused between the Macap M4 and Macap M5 grinder. The M4 grinder is the newest offshoot of the Macap M5. The Macap M5 has a longer, higher bean hopper on top that makes it extend over 18" in height - not practical for the home. The Macap M4 was designed with a lower, but wider bean hopper profile for use in your home, office, or commercial establisments. Please note that the Macap M4 is considered a commercial-grade grinder and is not returnable under our return policy if used - as this grinder is capable for any espresso machine. Please make sure you have the necessary space before purchasing.
